Wow! It's been a while .. Help!
« on: April 24, 2005, 08:29:52 PM »
Hello everyone!

I had an amiga 500 back in the 90's and to this day it remains my favourite machine of all time!

I'm a "PC" man these days but this is what I'd like to do:

Purchase an Amiga 1200 with HD ( non tower basic machine )
Connect it to my broadband for internet access & play some classic games.

1) Can I configure the Amiga 1200 for Internet access?
If so how easy is it and what do I need?

2) I'd like to be able to write Amiga floppies from my PC. I've heard of a Catweasel PCI card but can't seem to find one in the UK, any ideas on where I might get one? Or can I connect the amiga to a PC and transfer the ADF's onto the Amiga HD and extract / write to floppy?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for info & advice...

I've bought an A500 & an A1200! (not received yet)

I'm not expecting "todays" performance but I'd like to get to know AMIGA once more. It really does bring back some good memories!

Can't wait!
